After the US’ decision to strike Iran, border agents have been sent a warning.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott sent a memo to agents which was seen by the New York Post.
It read, “Over the past four years, thousands of Iranian nationals have been documented entering the United States illegally and countless more were likely in the known and unknown got-a-ways.
“Though we have not received any specific credible threats to share with you all currently, the threat of sleeper cells or sympathizers acting on their own, or at the behest of Iran has never been higher.”
